Life is short.

Today's devotion is going to be short and to the point. Here are today's verses:

James 4:13-15

13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

I just got home from Vanderbilt hospital visiting a friend who is there. She was involved in a boating accident. Her and a friend had just finished refueling a lareg boat that you can sleep in and they were pulling away from the dock when there was an explosion. It knocked her down and engulfed the boat in flames. She jumped in the water but her friend was killed. She has bad burns on her feet, legs and hands. I tell you all that for this. Be ready! As todays verses tell us we don't know what tomorrow brings. Compared to eternity our lives are short. God blesses us with every breath we take and every second we are able to spend with friends and family and telling people about the love of Jesus. Make sure right now you are right with God and tell those you love that you love them. My two friends were having a fun day on the lake and out of now where one life was gone. Please pray for my friend who is in the hospital as she has a long road to recovery and she is also scared emotionally on the loss of her friend. Thanks and God bless.
